Three members of the Grinnell Regional Medical Center Board of Trustees recently completed the Iowa Hospital Association’s Trustee Education Certification and joined the Newly Certified Trustee Class of 2022.

Jake Boyer, PA-C, Physician at UnityPoint Health – Grinnell Family Practice Clinic; Rachael Kinnick, Secretary, Grinnell Area Chamber of Commerce President and CEO; and Henry W, Morisada Rietz, PH.D., Grinnell College Professor of Religious Studies; have demonstrated their commitment to GRMC and Hospital Governance Best Practices with the completion of the IHA certification program.

The IHA created the Hospital Board and Trustee and Certification Program to help hospitals use governance best practices, promote the coordination of care and the best use of resources.

Trustees complete a basic certification form, including knowledge of hospital services, board member selection/election process and hospital by-laws, and 12 hours of continuing board education over a two-year-period, with education hours submitted annually.
